A-The beer pours without a head; just a light film and collar of foam. The liquid is a fleshy-rose-colored pink hue. There is a light haze. No lacing.

S-The aroma is quite funky with solid barnyard aromas of musty earth and wet wood. The fruit is vague and lightly tart...not really recognizable as plum. Acidity is moderate and sourness is medium.

T-The taste is slightly more acidic than the smell, but there is still a good dose of barnyard funk, some cheese, wet oak, and little buttery flavor. Medium lemon tartness and acidity with vague tree fruit.

M-The beer is nearly flat and slightly watery on the palate.

O-This beer is good; not great. Perhaps I held on the bottle a little too long for the fruit to remain in play because I thought the funk, while nice, needed a little more balancing fruit and tartness. If you have one of these hanging around, I suggest drinking now because I don't see any improvement coming with more age.
